Memory Care at Chartwell Edgewater Care
Chartwell Edgewater Care is proud to offer specialized memory care services in a secure building within our retirement community for seniors living with dementia. We are not only a safe and inviting home for seniors living with cognitive impairment, but also a resource for families who are looking for support, education and personal counselling services during and after a loved one’s transition to memory care.
Our unique approach to memory care
We take a uniquely person-centred approach to memory care. What does that mean? Our staff learn and celebrate each resident’s unique history, values, and likes/dislikes, allowing us to better communicate and understand your loved one’s experience with dementia for their comfort and contentment. This approach helps seniors living with cognitive impairment lead more purposeful and enriched lives, which we believe is essential to their overall well-being. Our staff work to ensure your loved one lives a good day, every day, by partnering with both them and your family to customize a care plan that reflects their personal needs and attributes.
Memory care support for families of residents
We know caring for a loved one experiencing memory loss is difficult, but rewarding, which is why we encourage family members to drop by our neighbourhood any time to speak with our Director of Care. They are on hand to provide the support you need and provide updates on your loved one’s happiness and well-being.
